"Huh?" Mi Jiang'er was stunned.

Facts? What facts?

"My queen is indeed very good, and I am quite infatuated with her. You are absolutely right about that," Shang Xiye said, leaning back on the soft pillow with a somewhat playful air. He smiled slightly at Ji Fengyao and said, "So, my queen, you can play around to your heart's content today. I will be watching from here. If there is any resistance that you cannot handle, I will take care of it for you."

Mi Jiang'er: "?!!"

Those who spread rumors: "...!"

The guards and secret agents present: "...?"

Wuying remained completely unmoved by the scene, like a pillar devoid of emotion.

This person, this temper, this tone—they're just like my master!

Ji Fengyao was overjoyed to hear this, and ran back to peck Shang Xiye on the chin, her eyes sparkling with laughter: "Thank you, Your Highness! You looked absolutely stunning today!"

"Really?" Shang Xiye was surprised that the little thing suddenly snuggled into his arms and kissed him, and his heart was filled with excitement.

"More real than real gold!"

“Then over here…” The prince shamelessly reached out and pointed to his other chin, leaning closer.

Ji Fengyao had impulsively mistaken him for her master and kissed him.

Now that they've come to their senses, they're too embarrassed to kiss again in front of everyone.

"Everyone is watching. If the princess doesn't kiss me, where will I put my face?" Shang Xiye urged him via telepathy.

"Alright, the spirit of contracts cannot be disregarded!"

Ji Fengyao muttered to herself, grabbed his collar, pouted and leaned closer.

Unexpectedly, the prince suddenly turned his slightly turned face back to him, and their lips met.

In her panic, Ji Fengyao tried to get up, but the soft pillow behind the prince "could not bear the weight" and slid down. So the prince also took the opportunity to pull the little bandit down with him, and the two instantly kissed deeply.

To onlookers at a distance, this series of actions appeared...

The princess suddenly pushed the prince down in front of everyone and then kissed him passionately.

The guards and bodyguards nearby who had clearly seen the scene: "..."

Your Highness, is it really okay for you to use such tricks on the Princess?

Wuying turned his face to the side:

I am a pillar devoid of emotion, knowing nothing.

The spies and Mi Jiang'er below were caught off guard by this unexpected display of affection, their mouths filled with choking saliva.

What are they doing here?

Why would someone who's perfectly fine become a spy and have to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)?

Why not go home and find someone you love, like the Ninth Prince and Princess, to kiss, hug, and lift each other up high all the time?

Mi Jiang'er was in great pain; the pent-up frustration and heartache made her actually cry.

Back in the day, she was known for her fiery temper and daring to do things in the palace. That's why she took the initiative to volunteer to come to the Ninth Prince's mansion, hoping to conquer the Ninth Prince, the fiercest wolf in the entire Great Zhao Dynasty.

When the Ninth Prince had just returned to the capital after being injured and poisoned, she had the opportunity to take advantage of his weakness and climb into his bed, but she pitied him and did not do so.

If she had known that the Ninth Prince would fall for this bandit's coercive tactics, why did she show him any pity?!

Look at this rude bandit! He dared to push away the Ninth Prince, the apple of her eye, in public, and the Ninth Prince didn't even put up a fight!

"Your Highness, business is more important. So many people are waiting for you to deal with them." Shang Xiye cupped the little bandit's face and helped her lift her head. His words were shy yet full of temptation: "If Your Highness really wants to take liberties with me, wait until we return to our room tonight. You can take liberties with me however you like, and I will not resist."

Ji Fengyao: "!"
